2 week stall in the first month?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery one month ago. I lost like 22 pounds in two weeks, which didn't surprise me because I am a big girl but since I started on puréed foods in week three I haven't lost an ounce of weight. Is a two week stall normal in the first month. I am only eating two ounces of mushy Proteins two times a day and my two Protein Shakes, between 400- 600 calories. Any suggestion? Should I go back to broths?

You're doing great. If you do a search on the forums on week 3 stall, you'll find lots of company. Including me. It's simply your body adjusting to all the changes it's just been put through. Once it realizes it's "OK", the weight will start dropping again.

Stalls/plateaus are pretty common. Just follow your surgeon's instructions and trust the process. It's going to be OK.

Be well…
